Computer Aided Convex Analysis Laboratory (CA² Lab)

The University of British Columbia, Kelowna, British Columbia
What the facility does

Mathematical modelling optimization and advanced visualization of solutions with industry applications.

Areas of expertise

The Computer Aided Convex Analysis Laboratory (CA² Lab) is part of the Centre for Optimization, Convex Analysis and Nonsmooth Analysis (COCANA), which performs fundamental research in convex and nonsmooth analysis and transfers the results to industry by solving practical industrial problems with a focus on commercial applications. COCANA researchers are mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers who apply state-of-the-art optimization techniques to solve real-life problems and provide our industrial partners an edge over their competition. We have many man-years of experience in optimization and operations research applied to engineering and health science and are always looking for new partners.
